Zheng's professional journey began at MIT where he studied computer science with a vision to build product-led solutions solving complex problems. In 2011, he founded his first company BrainGenie. After trying a wide range of expensive sales prospecting tools and finding they were not effective in getting the word out to customers, he decided to build his own in-house go-to-market platform. Soon after, BrainGenie grew to 1 million users and was acquired. Then in 2015, Zheng leveraged what he had learned to launch Apollo.io, which is now valued at $1.6 billion.
